What do you mean? It was definitely Permian who broke down and was euthanized. William Buick was taken off on a stretcher.

Bloodhorse also reports it as having been Permian.

Plus Geroux is riding Oscar Nominated in the Arlington Million right now.

Ok, my bad. We were on the opposite end of the grandstand and someone behind us said it was Geroux! I did then hear them mention him for the Million so that didn't seem right. Not happy that it was anyone

So sorry for all the connections and fans of the gutsy and popular Permian. FWIW, there's some speculation (on Twitter) that he may have been injured by a kick from Sonic Boom when he got bumped at the start.

Marcus Hersh‏ @DRFHersh Source says William Buick has fractured T-12 vertabrae. No surgery. Brace. To be kept overnight at hospital. Likely to miss some time.
